Today's session on Twitter has gotten me thinking more about my demo. I am very interested in how to create a global classroom where students are able to have conversations with their peers around the world. I can see this working for both writing and the reading of literature. I initially thought that using Skype to connect with classrooms around the world might be an option, but I'm not sure how feasible this is. Maybe Twitter would work better. The only drawback would be that I see a classroom where students can have face to face real world conversations around the globe and Twitter is not face to face. Although students are very savvy when it comes to technology and its many uses, they have a tendency to use it in a very insulated way with people they are comfortable and familiar with. I want to broaden their horizons and open up the world for them. Any ideas?
